Hexentor

Climbing "Hexentor" (grade 7) in the Gutenstein Alps is a truly memorable experience. The route itself is demanding, requiring a solid foundation in technical climbing skills and good physical fitness. The rock quality, typical of the Gutenstein Alps, is generally excellent, offering satisfying friction and secure holds. The exposure is considerable, particularly on some of the more exposed traverses, providing a thrilling sense of adventure. Successful completion of "Hexentor" isn't just about reaching the summit; it's about overcoming the challenges of route-finding, precise movement, and managing the mental fortitude required for such a sustained and exposed climb. The views from the top, encompassing the rolling hills and forested peaks of the surrounding Austrian landscape, are well-deserved reward for the effort expended. It's a climb that stays with you, a testament to the power of nature and the spirit of human endeavor.
